Are you ready for a spooky October reads? Our beloved gothic author Kerri Maniscalco is back with a brand new book (first in a trilogy), KINGDOM OF THE WICKED. It is Ms. Maniscalco's first YA historical fantasy book that involves black magic, witches, werewolves or shape-shifters, other mystical creatures, and PRINCES OF HELL. Did that get your attention now? KINGDOM OF THE WICKED sets back in around the 17th or 18th century in a small village in Sicily, Italy. Twins Vittoria and Emilia are from the long line of witches and are trained by their grandmother in witchcraft. They live happily and comfortably until one night, Vittoria was found dead, murder to be exact. The whole family is devastated, especially twin sister Emilia. She wants to find who killed her sister and why. She wants to avenge her death. She ignored her grandmother's plea and thus scummed into the dark magic.
I love the uniqueness, creativity, and the imagination of Ms. Maniscalco. She knows how to entice her readers like me. I have been looking for a story about supernaturals like the seven princes of hell (based on the seven deadly sins from the bible). Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars My only issue is that the lead character is so annoying, and I was seriously about to put the book down if it were not from the mysterious Wrath, one of the princes of hell. Oh, did I mention that I HATE CLIFFHANGERS??? So, if you are like me who is dying to read about a book full of dark magic, witches, demons, and other unearthly creatures plus a super dose of murder mystery, then I highly suggest you include this in our October reads. You do not want to miss out on this one! **Thank you very much to JIMMY Patterson and NetGalley for approving my request to read and review this masterpiece.
